Introduction
The tab feature lets you work with several screens at once in ProdSys, in the same way as tabs in a web browser. Each menu option opens in its own tab, and each order, article or contact you open also gets its own tab. You can switch between tabs without losing the work you have done.
The feature is useful if you often move between several tasks – for example comparing two orders, following up with multiple customers, or working with several articles in parallel.
Prerequisites
The feature must be enabled by an administrator under System → Settings → General
The setting applies to the entire company – all users get the feature when it is enabled
